Spotsaas Editor’s POV

FreshBooks works best for freelancers, small agencies, and service businesses handling invoicing, expense tracking, and basic project costing. The interface requires minimal training, and core features—time tracking, expense categorization, project assignment—are straightforward to set up. Account managers are available for onboarding calls, and the mobile app ...Read more

Freshbooks pros and cons

  • User-friendly interface, making it simple to set up and use even for non-accounting experts.

  • Excellent customer support with responsive, knowledgeable, and patient account managers, frequently cited for their exceptional service.

  • Effective for small and freelance businesses, particularly for tasks like invoicing, expense tracking, and bookkeeping.

  • Offers valuable features like recurring billing, time tracking, project collaboration, and seamless payment integrations (e.g., PayPal, Stripe).

  • Reporting functionalities and customizations are less capable compared to industry giants, limiting advanced financial analysis.

  • Invoice customization options are relatively limited, which may not meet specific branding needs.

For a finance novice it is amazingly supportive

What do you like best? The ease of use for finances words I don't know. The power of the reporting. The organization of the system and information. Everything I need is on my dashboard ready for me. It is so easy to scroll over something and it shows me more detailed information. It is so easy to make quick edits to journal entries and cash flow tracking. I love the colors, the simplistic design, the easy to read and clean fonts. The helpful support team. What do you dislike? ...

Not as bulky as the other booking software

What do you like best? Freshbooks is so asy to use, from tracking hours to generating reports - it has everything I need as a freelancer/small design agency. It is also scalable, so I can add customers to the interface as I grow. What do you dislike? I wish there was a native Mac OS app to use a timer to track hourly work. Other than that, everything works great. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you are starting out as a freelancer or small company, ...

Great Product for a Small Business

It is easy to use, easy to understand, and their customer support is phenomenal! What do you dislike? Though my accountant had not used FreshBooks before, he was able to easily access it through the accountant link and also found intuitive and easy to use. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It is so easy ...

Solid cloud-based solution. A couple of weaknesses but overall good price and quality of product.

What do you like best? Cloud-based, easy to navigate, good plug-ins for ACH, credit card payments, good combo of accounting, time-tracking and invoicing What do you dislike? Expense category learning is a bit weak. Repeating expenses, even with same vendor and recurring amounts, do not always learn. Can be erratic so needs manual management What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? CC payments within the platform, time-tracking and ...

Good overall, despite some shortcomings

What do you like best? Invoicing is quick and easy. Recurring invoices are nice, especially when clients save their credit cards to have them automatically charged. Being able to track time from any page inside FreshBooks is convenient. It's very helpful to see the history of an invoice (when it was created, sent, viewed, paid, etc.). What do you dislike? The timer frequently breaks in the Safari browser, and the page must be reloaded to get it to work again. Importing transactions ...

Easy invoicing and one of the best examples of customer service I've ever encountered

What do you like best? Easy to use and very simple platform (much better than my CPA's recommended product which is an eye sore). What do you dislike? I was working on a proposal that got lost assuming it auto-saved. Hope that function got fixed (?) What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Solve integration with my CPA; easy for taxes, tracking expenses and invoicing clients is truly a breeze.
